Discussion Maschenny is a Blood Knight

[Cinera]

Maschenny is a blood knight:

Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.

She's a hedonist who derives pleasure from the thrill of combat. This was made abundantly clear during her fight with Zahard's data and her conversation with Jinsung after kidnapping him.

Maschenny was excited to fight Zahard after witnessing his terrifying might:

Spoiler

Maschenny derives boundless joy from the thrill of combat:

Spoiler

She was willing to fight to her death for the sake of her own pleasure:

Spoiler

She fought to the point that her vastly superhuman body gave out on her due to her desire to challenge Jahad:

Spoiler

She died with a smile on her face because she could fulfil her long cherished ambition to fight Zahard:

Spoiler

She literally gets turned on by blood:

Spoiler

She lusts for the battles of legend and considers the current peace so trivial and dull:

Spoiler

She postulates that perhaps she's just a nut who can't live without blood and fighting:

Spoiler

Maschenny's peculiar brand of hedonism is further demonstrated during her call with Yuri while the latter was aboard the Hell Train.

She made a bet with Yuri over their 13 months because she was bored:

Spoiler

This is despite the fact that whoever loses the bet would be placed in "great danger":

Spoiler

This reinforces that she's willing to risk her life for the sake of her own entertainment.

Of course. That's her main character trait I'd say.

It's pretty much her only character trait. I don't think this is a topic worth discussing, it's more of a statement of a fact...

Of course. That's her main character trait I'd say.

For her Data version it was. For her High Ranker version it isn't.

Adult Maschenny has been shown scheming and plotting much more. Excluding the Hidden Floor, the only time her bloodlust really leaked through was when she was boasting to Jinsung after capturing him.

It's pretty much her only character trait.

Not at all. It's not even Adult Maschenny's most pronounced personality trait.

Maschenny's other character traits:

• She has supreme confidence in and a high opinion of her own ability.
  • She believes that with her schemes and designs, she can change the course of the Tower.
  • She believes that Baam and the Ancient Beasts are people she can control.
  • The narrator described her as "arrogant".
  • She believes herself to be one who had some modicum of control over the story.
    • She fancies herself to be the one who prepared the board and laid the groundwork for the story to evolve.
  • Unlike White who called himself "an insignificant soul" or Lyborick who described himself as "nothing" compared to the Great Warriors, Maschenny only described them as "people even I could not handle".
  • Depending on how far her schemes go, this may extend as far as delusions of grandeur.
• She has a very strong internal locus of control.
  • She believes that change is something she must bring about of her own.
  • She thinks it's foolishness to sit back and wait for change to happen.
  • She's someone who causes things to happen, not someone who things happen to.
• She has being depicted as a mastermind.
  • She's shown to have very good insight into the psyche of others, and this is often seen in her conversations or monologues. It makes her much better at manipulating them.
    • Her call with Yuri after the Name Hunt Station
    • Before fighting Jinsung on the 91st Floor.
    • With Jinsung after capturing him.
  • Events she orchestrated:
    • The Name Hunt Station by proxy of Lilial and Shilial
    • Her yet to be revealed bet with Yuri
    • Jinsung's battle with Kallavan
    • Kallavan as Baam's nemesis
    • Baam rallying FUG
    • The Raid on the Nest
  • She described herself as abhorring a boring tale and so making the scale of Baam's story bigger.
  • Much more than her raw combat ability, she relies on her schemes and manipulation to get ahead.
• She's very assertive and domineering.
  • She ordered Repellista's guards to shut up when they attempted to praise Zahard on her exit.
  • She regularly ordered Asensio about on the Hidden Floor (despite him being older than her), and at one time asked him to put his life on the line.
  • When Data Zahard showed up, she took the initiative and made herself the leader of and Fisherman of their little group.
  • She came up with a plan of attack and successfully executed it.
  • She took control of the Corps Commanders at the Nest.
• She's condescending to those she sees as below her.
  • She told Yuri to watch her manners when talking to her as she was an Unni that was far above Yuri.
  • She told Jeok that he was out of control.
  • She chided Asensio for wasting time on a nobody like Jeok.
• She's sarcastic and/or a habitual liar.
  • She claimed that she accidentally hit the El Robina and asked them if they wanted her to apologise.
• She enjoys teasing others and having fun at their expense.
  • She teased Yuri when they met at Repellista's palace.
  • She teased Yuri again during the call she gave her at the Name Hunt Station.
    • She admitted that she enjoyed teasing Yuri.
  • She seems to have regularly poked fun at Jinsung once she took him prisoner.
• She's a hedonist that lives for her own pleasure.
  • She longs for exciting times and wants to live her fullest life.
  • She seems to be motivated largely by an avoidance of boredom.

These are the most pronounced traits of Adult Maschenny. Her bloodlust would probably slot above the sarcasm but below the condescension. It was far more pronounced in her younger self.

Anyway, I would write a longer take on this later.

I don't think this is a topic worth discussing, it's more of a statement of a fact...

IMO, you should avoid saying things you know to be false.
